It’s All Just a Draft is a draft of a book on writing, collected from blog posts and other miscellany around TobiasBuckell.com. It’s as much a brief biography as anything else, and hopefully less lecture-y. It’s a response to requests to link to all my writing related posts, or frequent questions I get about writing.

The files are provided as in-progress RTFs linked below. Donations are accepted and appreciated via any standard credit card or paypal.
